Concordia Blade Editor Visits Kansan News Room INCLUDE INSURANCE IN BONUS PROGRAM New Plan Proposes to Give Ex Service Men Paid-Up Policies Compromise is Expected Four Fold Plan of Payment Only Item Not Under Washington, April 29—The ways and means committee met today in an effort to reach a compromise agree on the bonus program that has been approved by the measure that will not be under fire is that providing the four fold plan of paying which gives the soldier his option of a cash bonus, aid in buying farm land, aid in buying civilities and aid in their education. The measures are ways and means committee virtually decided today to include in their military relief legislation program a plan of paid up insurance, its value to increase annually by compound interest and would be obtained from no休服店. ALLOW $1.75 A DAY IN LOANS To popularize their four plans the Republicans propose to allow $1.75 a day for each day of service, instead of the $1.25 cash bonus, as the basis for the farm and home aid, loans and the financial aid each man might receive in the form of educational training. The average period of service for world war veterans was four hundred days, they said, explaining that under the insurance plan the average veteran would receive a paid-up insurance policy of $1,857, payable to him at the end of twenty years or immediately in his heir in event of his death. The loan value of the insurance—denoted in the legislation as adjusted service certificates—would not acrue until the end of the third year the plan had been in force, and at that time an ex-service man, with a recourse to an insurance company would be entitled to a loan of $551. This would be the cash value of his "certificate" at that time at 5 per cent interest compounded annually. THAN BONES This plan, if adopted universally by the war veterans, would cost the government far more than the cash bonus of $1.25 a month, said. Estimating that 3,500,000 service persons will be affected by the bill, committeemen declared the ultimate cost of the insurance plan, it adopted by all, would be approximately 6 billion dollars. The cash bonus, it was estimated, would cost 1 billion, 807 million dollars if accepted by all. Mrs. Lon Hocker, F.
